Ukraine Accepts U.S.-Brokered Peace Proposal — Zelensky: 'Much Work Still Lies Ahead'

Ukraine has accepted a U.S.-brokered peace proposal, but President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that "much work still lies ahead" before any agreement can be implemented. The announcement followed a Russian missile barrage that reportedly killed at least seven people, underscoring the fragility of the situation. U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll is meeting Russian officials in Abu Dhabi to try to secure Moscow's backing as diplomats continue negotiations.

Ukraine has accepted a peace proposal brokered by the United States, though President Volodymyr Zelensky stressed that significant work is still required before any agreement can be implemented. Officials say the proposal emerged from discussions in Geneva where diplomats reported promising progress toward a potential settlement.

“Following the meetings in Geneva, we see many prospects that can make the path to peace real,” Zelensky wrote on X. “There are solid results, and much work still lies ahead.”

The announcement came hours after a Russian missile barrage struck parts of Ukraine; reports indicate at least seven people were killed. The attack highlights how fragile security conditions remain even as diplomatic efforts advance.

U.S. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll was reported to be meeting with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi to seek Moscow’s support for the proposal and to discuss next steps. Officials cautioned that further negotiations, verification measures, and time will be necessary before any ceasefire or formal settlement can take effect.

The situation is evolving, and details may change as talks continue.
